“The
United States has said several times that it would expect that the cross-Strait
relations would be conducted on the basis of dignity and mutual respect.
This is very important. This also refers back to my earlier point on
international space. Hopefully Taiwan can also be a respectable member of
international community with dignity, while the cross-Strait relationship can be
further developed on the basis of the 1992 consensus,” writes Lyushun Shen for
the Diplomat.

“The
Chinese government could cancel some upcoming military exchanges with the U.S.,
as it has in the past. Or the Chinese could try to punish U.S. defense firms that are
involved with the arms sales through sanctions, although the involvement of such
firms in Chinese government business is limited,” writes Josh Rogin for
Bloomberg.

“Warnings
about China closing the gap with the American military and the Pentagon’s plans
for anti-ship missiles are music to the ears of defense contractors and U.S.
lawmakers whose states host key manufacturing hubs. At a time of increasing
budget pressures, the Navy has an incentive to highlight the Chinese maritime threat to
help secure funding. But skeptics say they have sometimes exaggerated the
threat,” writes Dan de Luce for Foreign Policy.

Our forefathers pledged their lives, their fortunes and their scared honor to give us a Republic with Liberty and Freedom and Benjamin Franklin upon leaving the signing of the Constitution said "we have given you a Republic, if you can keep it." Can we keep it? Are we going to stand by and let the government we elected take away our Freedom and Liberties? FREEDOM MUST BE DEFENDED, NOW IS THE TIME and WE ARE THAT GENERATION!!! Semper Fi
